Mastiff is so bad

Get this trash gun out of the game already, it is so useless, nobody uses this garbage gun.  A stock Peacekeeper is 100 times better. I can hit someone 10 feet away for 12, but can use a Peacekeeper out of an Ar's effective range for like 80. 

Honeslty don't know why this gun is still in the game, useless content that takes up a loot spawn. 

Still no point in using anything other than R99 and Peacekeeper.

  • Mastiff is harder to use which is stupid. Mastiff should be the strongest Shotgun in this game. It does the most pellet damage, ignores leg shot reduction (means it's a body shot even in the legs), headshot is strong to 1 tap people but is harder to land. 

    All that and it has limited amount of ammo.

    Peacekeeper is easier to use, is a normal loot pool weapon and simply needs a nerf. People can even snipe with the Peacekeeper.

    You don't see people sniping with the Mastiff despite it having a build in Precision Choke.

    @Leo_the_Lion25 Same can be said about the Kraber and L-Star if you look at it that way. You don’t want those to be easier-to-use right? Else it’s gonna be a slaughter going for care packages and you’ll see much more obituaries involving those weapons.
  • The mastiff has become the second best shotgun after the idiotic peacekeeper buffs. The mastiff is stronger than the PK in close range by a tad, but the PK is More powerful from mid to long range. (with choke obviously). 

  • @EThought113213 2 shots from a mastff and you've killed the person. That's no different than a peace keeper. I believe the fire rate of the mastiff is slightly quicker than the PK but the recoil might be worse. It's been a while since I've picked one up. Honestly I rarely pick up care package guns, I like the guns I have and have no issue killing players who run other guns.

    Hemlock is a solid gun. I down players in 1 burst with the hemlock once their shields are broken. 2-3 burst to down a player with a hemlock, so long as you land your shots and get a few head shots in with each burst (which is not difficult to do).

    G7 is a solid gun as well if you use it right. I typically run a Hemlock PK, Hemlock G7, PK G7 or some combo of the 3 guns. But I will also use the R-301, Wingman is a work in progress (not accurate enough yet).

    One thing that I've noticed from players who don't like certain guns.. They get stuck playing with the same load outs again and again and again.. Each gun has benefits and draw backs IMO. But if you play to the guns strong points you'll win.
